It’s mishmosh Monday! (Wait, is that even a thing?)
Here’s a conversation on Twitter that piqued my curiosity:
I always thought of Ellicott City and its surroundings would be a great place for a horror film. The old abandoned St. Mary's College; the "Hell House", Seven Hills, etc... Too bad most of the historic buildings in that area have been destroyed by arson and demolished.
Ellicott City is a spooky f-ing town, man!
Patapsco Valley State Park is a place filled with lore. Hurricane Agnes tore through that area and lots of it never recovered. Look up the story of the Bigfoot sightings in the area. One where a body purportedly was discovered and sent to the Smithsonian?
I’m no film expert but I think some creepy films have used Ellicott City locations. The Blair Witch Project, maybe? And then there’s this…

I’m not a horror film aficionado. Are you? Can you think of any with Ellicott City settings?

In yet another episode of “I see weird connections in photographs”, this image from Ellicott City furniture/home store made me laugh. Does anything they sell at Su Casa fit in this bag? Seriously. It’s pictured with three lovely items which are too big to meet those specifications.
I image a contest or a game show in which contestants are given a limited time to wander through the store to find something that will fit in the bag. If it fits, they get to keep it. Sofa? Nope. Dining room table? Still nope. Office desk?
You get the picture.
Yes, I know I’m probably the only person in the universe who would look at that photograph and have that mental experience.

In that same category, let’s be clear. This is not a bus route map. It is a person - - possibly dabbing or taking a selfie - - missing a leg.
Is there separate “missing leg” bus service? I’ll be keeping an eye out.

When I attended the recent HoCo Pride event at Color Burst Park, I found the heat to be overwhelming. Was I jealous of the young children frolicking in the nearby splashpad? Oh, yes. I looked everywhere for a water fountain but was unsuccessful. I was hoping for something like this.

I’m pretty sure that there’s one of these at Clarksville Commons. They’re extremely handy. You can grab a quick drink and fill your reusable water bottle, too. I sent a follow-up email to the good folks in the Merriweather District about this but they didn’t write back, alas.
Do you know? Does Color Burst Park have public water stations? Fill me in.

Lastly, here’s a quick follow up. As promised, I took my sister and family to Tribos Peri Peri when they were in town from Indiana last week. Our experience was just was pleasant and delicious as the first time. Also, that large white space I thought was just itching to be a mural? It is a screen.
